Netflix has become massive in the US. It’s incredible.
I am sad that there is no decent comparable service available in the UK. I would be all over it! In fact, I think that the take-up in the UK would be pretty good. So, it’s a shame that someone isn’t getting their act together, they are missing a killing!
Talking of a killing, due to the rise in popularity of Netflix in the US, certain video shops have taken a big hit, namely Blockbuster.

Blockbuster got a 1-2 punch. Netflix softened up Blockbuster by taking away the heavy users of DVDs, then Redbox finished them off by taking away the casual users. Redbox is easy, cheap and ubiquitous.
